PYONGYANG, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) — South Korean troops committed a "serious provocation" on Tuesday by firing more than 10 warning shots at North Korean soldiers, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Saturday, citing Ko Jong Chol, deputy chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA).

The North Korean soldiers in question were working to build a permanent barrier near the country's southern border, KCNA reported.

The provocation is “a serious prelude that would inevitably lead the situation in the southern border area, where a huge number of opposing troops are stationed, to an uncontrollable phase, and the DPRK army is monitoring the current situation,” Ko Jong Chol said in a press statement released on Friday.

The DPRK army is currently constructing a permanent barrier on the border with the Republic of Korea as part of regular work to strengthen the border, the statement said.

The complete separation of the territory by the barrier is reportedly intended to “remove the escalation factor in the militarily tense southern border region and ensure a stable environment” that does not pose a threat to anyone. –0–
